Johannesburg-based mining equipment distributor Vermeer Equipment Suppliers is starting to focus on certain market-related commodities and associated opencast mines to market its Surface Miner surface excavation machines, says mining and pipeline sales segment manager Gareth Cramond. The machines are being used in Africa at, amongst others, molybdenum producer China Molybdenum’s Tenke Fungurume copper and cobalt mine, in the Democratic Republic of Congo and exploration and mining services company Société Minière de Boké’s bauxite mines, in Guinea. In South Africa the machines are being used at diversified miner Exxaro Resources’ Grootegeluk opencast coal mine, in Limpopo.
